whether it be stocking up on some wine for after baby is here, making a hair appt, getting a pedicure, making & freezing meals, deep cleaning your house...is there anything you plan on doing for yourself before baby comes?
I went to this "pregnancy hour" on friday night - it's basically a bunch of pregnant women who get together, all at various stages in their pregnancy and talk - it's kind of like a real life "the bump." one woman mentioned she was having a home birth, so she was getting things ready like having some red wine available, and getting her fav Belgium chocolates.
I plan on having my hair done, and a pedicure at around 35ish weeks and then taking a whole weekend to cook a bunch of meals with my H so we can freeze them.

We're moving next week. At 37 weeks! I feel so bad taking off work, but I might give my students some practice with a sub so I can have one day to myself after all the work we are about to do! I want to get some sewing done, get a pedicure and haircut, and take a dang nap!
I'm taking advantage of a groupon I got for a mani-pedi-facial bright and early tomorrow morning.
If I'm still pregnant at 38 weeks, I promised myself another pedicure. If I go before then, I'll be going the week my mom is in town (which should be at least 3 weeks post-partum if I go before 38 weeks).
With DD my big last minute prep was getting some of my gardens in order, knowing I wouldn't be making it out there for some time after she arrived.
This time around I'll be making sure to set aside some quality 1:1 activities with DD.

I'm def going overboard to pamper myself this time. Most of it was Christmas gift cards anyway.
I am getting my hair cut/highlighted, massage, mani/pedi, eyebrow and Brazilian wax the weekend before my due date.
I also have some blueberry champagne for DH and I.
I hope this keeps me from wanting the baby to come earlier : )
Edit: Yes we do have planned for each boy a mommy/daddy alone date and I am going out of town to my parent's house so they can get one last visit in with the boys before another one arrives.

I'm getting a massage next week. My mom gave me a gift certificate for Christmas that never expires, but I wanted to have it before LO comes.
no freezer meals here...DH and I are both home in the daytime, so he'll just take over kitchen duty for a while, or he'll take the LO while I cook. Yay for early retirement!
I have been organizing, organizing, organizing. Things that I'm not going to want to mess with when I have a newborn, I am doing now.
FI and I bought all new bedding today and organized our huge closet that still had moving boxes from almost two months ago. That was something nice that was just for us.
Mani, pedi, wax and hair appt all tomm!
been cleaning everyday. Grocery shopping tomm too!
